How can we get ready for school?
Students will keep all of their belongings in their work space. We recommend that you limit the amount of belongings brought to school each day. Students should bring:
- a litter-less lunch (all containers and packaging brought to school need to be taken home)
- a refillable water bottle for the water bottle filing station
- Indoor shoes for the classroom and gym class.
- outdoor clothing (students could be outside for a significant amount of time each day. Ensuring proper outdoor clothing is essential (sweater, raincoat, boots, hat, extra socks etc.)
- Students are able to bring their own school supplies (pencil crayons, scissors, glue stick, etc.) but this is not required
- Students are able to bring their own device (Chromebook, tablet, etc,) but this is not required. (The school is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged devices).
How can families prepare?
- Talk to your children about school. The transition back to school can be hard for some. Re-assure your child that the grownups (at home and at school) are working together to support them. Do your best to share positive messaging about school and be mindful of your personal worries and concerns.
Reach out to other families to share ideas and strategies and make connections in advance of the first day.
Access community resources to support your child's mental health and well-being or to access support for yourself. Our school team is ready to help you!
We can't wait to see you all again soon!

Visitors
The school office is open between 8:30AM and 4PM. Please call or email if you need assistance with a matter.
Document Verification for New Registrations
Junior Kindergarten students and students new to Ontario schools need to provide some documentation to the school. If you haven't done so already, please plan on bringing the required documents to the school office on your child's first day.
Medical Plans of Care & Medication at School
If your child requires special care for a medical condition or takes medication while at school, please notify the school's office so that the appropriate arrangements and paperwork can be completed or updated. If you have already informed the school of your child's medical condition, you will be contacted, if needed, to establish or update a Plan of Care for your child while at school.
If your child needs to take prescription medication while at school there are forms that need to be completed and returned to the school each year before the medication can be administered. Please click on the links to access Form 314 A-1 and B-1. Also, please check the expiry dates on all medications (ie. Epipens, Inhalers) to ensure they are current before sending them to school.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We are always happy to help clarify information. We look forward to having your students back in our classrooms and to seeing you all soon!
School Parking Lot & Bus Loading Zone
We continue to need your help. Since the safety of our students is a priority for all of us, parents are requested to use the Student Drop off & Pick up parking (to the right at the entrance) when driving children to and from school.
The school driveways and the bus loading zone in front of the school need to remain clear of traffic and parked cars.
Finally, if you are parking along Walsh Road, please be mindful when parking that the buses need room to navigate the narrow roadway. We would hate to see anyone’s vehicle get damaged by accident. Thanks again for your attention to this matter.
